I did that and still wouldn't launch. So on a whim I dug into my Data folder to see if something ended up in there that shouldn't be there... and there were some .hkx animations files from a modder's resource that ended up there by mistake. I removed those and lo and behold, Skyrim launches. At this point, I'm really not going to question it. But I am going to thank you for your help.

Ok LOL dumb question... how do I reset INIs?

I removed the steam installer and checked to see if the game would launch without SKSE and nothing so far but I'll do a manual install the way I used to do it and hope that works. Thank you for the help. EDIT: SKSE installed manually and still not launching. *sigh*

This same problem started for me just a few weeks ago and I have no clue how to solve it. I've played Skyrim for over 3200 hours and have used SKSE for a couple years now, but the problem began with the steam installer version of SKSE so how do I fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
